MLB Postseason LOGO

The 2016 MLB Postseason starts on Tuesday night. October is the best time of year because it's the best 5 teams in each league battling to make the "Fall Classic". Here is my preview of the AL & NL Wildcard games.

AL Wildcard Game- Orioles vs. Blue Jays

Orioles- A team that battled to the last day got in the 2nd wildcard spot. Baltimore has the potential to go to the Rogers Centre and beat the Blue Jays. It's going to need to start with pitching. The offense is going to need to supply the pitching with run support. Guys like Manny Machado, Chris Davis, and Adam Jones need to step up for them.

Blue Jays

Just like the Orioles, it came down to the final day for them to clinch a playoff spot. Toronto is hosting the wildcard game so they get to play in front of there home crowd. The Roger Centre will be electric on Tuesday night. Russell Martin, Josh Donaldson, and Jose Bautista are all going to need to have good games to move onto the ALDS.

NL Wildcard Game- SF Giants vs New York Mets

SF Giants- The Giants struggled in the month of September but turned it around and now are in the 2nd wildcard spot. The offense needs to step up and supply the pitching with run support. Madison Bumgarner is going to need to pitch a great game to move onto the next round.

Mets- The Mets are hosting the Wildcard game. Noah Syndergaard is going to have to pitch a great game because the Mets offense isn't going to get a lot of runs off of Madison Bumgarner. Yoenis Cespedes is going to need to need to have a good game offensively for the Mets to move on.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
